This gorgeous site - called in Maya "Zama" or
"dawn" - is dominated by carvings of the "Descending God". Most
scholars assume that this God is symbolizing dawn, since the front side of the temples are
facing the east.

It is easy to be tempted to....the assumption that there is
more behind it. Some carvings show the God having something in his hands. That could mean
that he is descending from Heaven in order to bring something to mankind. This would make
him a Savior God....

El Castillo: the Main Temple

It is equally tempting to further connecting him to the 2012
Maya Calendar prophesies. There the Old God dies, while a New is being born. The New One
subsequently descending to the Earthly Plane???
